Fix It: Traffic signal at Executive Drive

This next issue came to us through the new Fix-It Mapconnected to the Getting There blog. Readers can post concerns and click to say “I want this fixed too!”

One reader wrote about the traffic signalat the corner of Fuller Road and Executive Park Drive.

“This light cycles through unnecessarily during weeknight evenings and on weekends, when no one is working in Executive Park,” one reader wrote. “The light should flash yellow after about 6:30 on weeknights, and all day on weekends.”

Six other readers clicked that they want it fixed too.

Albany County Public Works Commissioner Michael Franchini said there is an effort being made to make that change.

“We are working with the owner of this traffic signal (who is also the owner of Executive Park) to address this concern,” he said. “If the repair to this signal is relatively simple, they will make it. If the repair is relatively complicated and expensive, because this is not a safety issue and because this signal will be replaced this year as part of the Fuller Road Corridor Improvement project, we will address this when the signal is replaced.”
